Brightclaw237: Well here is the start of another fanfiction. One where I'll have the intro be like an anime in words. Same with the outro, hope you all enjoy. I only own the angel-hounds.

"The Next Frontier" Chapter/Episode 1 "Lost in a New Era"

Brightclaw: "Huh, what's going on?"

Whirlwind: "You seriously don't remember?"

Brightclaw: "Wait, I remember now!"

Whirlwind: "So you ready to tell everyone the story?"

Brightclaw: "Yeah, and then we can find that stupid frog!"

Whirlwind: "Easy now, he's not even around right now."

Brightclaw: "Right, now we need to find out where we are!"


"Whoa, what the…where am…I?" I bark, looking at my surroundings. It's a bit difficult to see because it appears to be night where I am. "What a minute!" I exclaim, my ears perk up in realization. "It wasn't night just a moment ago, and where is the Fossil Center?!" I bark, looking around to try and find any source of civilization. I sit down and hold a paw to my head as I try and remember what took place before I lost consciousness.


"Dr. Diggins, did you actually manage to build a time machine?!" Lucy asks the professor.

"Why yes I did, Lucy. With Hunter's help, I was able to build a time machine." Dr. Diggins proudly smiles.

My fur stands on end at the words time machine. I let out a low growl and unsheathe my claws, my eyes focused on the platform similar to the teleportation platform that leads to the dinaurian mothership. "Brightclaw, what's wrong?" Hunter asks me. I don't answer him, I only focus on the device that can only lead to pain. I walk towards it, growling with each step I take. "Brightclaw, what are you doing?" He asks, I only growl and continue towards the machine.

"Uh it doesn't seem like Brightclaw likes the idea of a time machine, Dr. Diggins." Rosie says.

"Why do you say that, Rosie?" Dr. Diggins asks her.

"That's why." Rosie says, pointing at Hunter and Holt who are trying to pull me away from the machine. Their efforts are useless as I reach the platform. I stand on my hind legs, while raising one clawed paw into the air. Remembering all the pain time travel has caused me before, I bring down my paw to strike the platform.

"Hunter, Holt, stop her before she destroys the machine!" Dr. Diggins shouts. Hunter and Holt try again, but I push them back.

Blaze and Sparky enter the warehouse to see me attacking the strange machine, while Holt and Hunter lie stunned on the floor. Sparky tries to pin me down, but I slam my left arm into him, sending Sparky flying into a nearby wall. Blaze grabs me by my collar with his jaws, but I manage to slip out. Whirlwind's medal flies out of my collar and materializes. All of my other medals fall out of the collar, and Whirlwind grabs them,before flying into the opened backpack that I have on. I knock back Blaze and continue to attack. I run up onto the platform and strike at its center. Blaze drops my collar and chases after me. "Crystal, you need to stop! This isn't you, you aren't like the primal-hounds!" He barks, pleading that I stop, yet I only attack the machine. Blaze runs towards me and wraps his arms around me in a loving embrace. "Crystal, why are you doing this?!" He barks, looking into my eyes.

His words finally reach me, my eyes welling up with tears. "Time travel causes nothing but pain." I bark. My claws partially retract back into my paws, they can never fully retract. "You can end up losing those you love, and might never be able to see them again!" I bark, burying my muzzle into his chest, soaking his jacket with my tears. "I've already lost so many friends because of it, and I almost lost Brightshadow again because of it." I cry.

"Is that why you suddenly went feral, because you didn't want to lose anymore friends?" Blaze asks, and I nod my head. Blaze turns to face Dr. Diggins. "This needs to be dismantled immediately, it is a danger to everyone." He barks. "Destroy the blueprints as well, all known data on time travel." Blaze barks.

Dr. Diggins nods his head and runs over to what must be the devices control panel. "You two better better get off of there before something happens." Dr. Diggins says.

"Right, after seeing that panic attack, I don't want to see Brightclaw in anymore pain." Blaze says as I begin to drift off.

"Well it seems that I can finally be rid of those two once and for all!" A familiar voice exclaims, and my eyes snap open. I look at the exit of the warehouse to see Bullwort. "It seems that you two are about to become HISTORY!" He shouts, running over to the control panel, activating the machine.

Sirens go off, warning lights flashing all around the room. Hunter and Holt tackle Bullwort to the ground. My instincts go wild, screaming at me to run away, but I'm too drained from trying to destroy the time machine. My eyes slowly close as I struggle to stay conscious. "Crystal?" Blaze barks, calling me by my human name. He only does that when he's extremely worried about me. "Crystal what's wrong?!" He barks.

"We need to get…away from…the machine…" I bark, my voice weak. I can barely see what's happening around me, but I can see a bright white light around Blaze and I.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Hunter snaps, and everything goes black.


I place a paw to my head. "Last thing after that was trying to hold onto Blaze." I bark, and my eyes widen in realization. "Blaze?!, Blaze where are you?!" I howl, growing terrified at the thought of being alone. It's an awful feeling, especially when you feel like you're locked in a dark room with no way out. I reach for my collar, but it's not there. "Oh no, I dropped my collar!" I exclaim. "Am I really all alone?" I bark, looking up at the sky.

"No you aren't, Brightclaw. We're all here with you." Whirlwind caws as he flies out of my backpack with all my Dino Medals inside of it. "We would never leave you, we're your partners." He caws, perching himself on top of my head. "So, what should we do?" Whirlwind asks.

"Find civilization, I feel like we aren't in the past at all. There may be an organization that has heard of Vivosaur Island." I bark. "That's where we should head first." I bark. Whirlwind nods and flys up into the air to scout for any sign of civilization. Once he spots something, he flies back down and tells me what he saw. "So there's a small plaza just ahead of us?" I ask.

"Yes, but is seems that there's a gate to keep things out." Whirlwind explains.

"We have no choice, we need to return home." I bark, walking ahead towards our destination.


Brightclaw237: Well I hope you all will enjoy this fanfiction. To give this a bit of an anime feel for a preview of the next chapter, listen to the song Kaze no Uta by FLOW.

Next time on "The Next Frontier"

Brightclaw: "Whoa, where am I?

Whirlwind: "The real question is when are you."

Brightclaw: "Whirlwind, this isn't the time to joke around! We're lost in a different era, and so far people think that I'm just a completely normal dog!"

Whirlwind: "Well not completely normal, you do wear clothes."

Brightclaw: "That's still not helping, Whirlwind! We need to find help fast!" "Somebody already called animal control on us!"

Whirlwind: "Brightclaw, I just saw someone wearing a lab coat! Maybe they're scientist, they might be able to help!"

Brightclaw: "I don't like scientists though! You know my past, I don't wanna go!"

Whirlwind: "It's the only way to get back to our own time! We have to do something instead of waiting to be caught by some dog catcher!"

Brightclaw: "You're right, let's go buddy!"

Brightclaw and Whirlwind: Next time on "The Next Frontier", "BIG PROBLEM, Little professor"
